The German federal state of Bavaria has a rich cultural heritage. Schloss Neuschwanstein is a 19th century castle commissioned by Ludwig II. The city of Munich is perhaps best known for the Marienplatz Glockenspiel and Hofbrauhaus. It is also headquaters to BMW. Beautiful Passau is the City of Three Rivers - the Inn, Ilz, and Danube. St. Stephen's Cathedral inspires with its awesome beauty, and Europe's largest pipe organ. Our cruise of the River Danube embarked from Passau.
